Loss of slc-36.1 does not affect engulfment of cell corpses. (A and B) Quantification (mean ± SEM) of button-like cell corpses (A) and vacuoles (B) at different embryonic development stages in the indicated strains. 15 embryos were scored at each stage for each strain. ***, P < 0.001. (C) Time-lapse monitoring of CED-1::GFP kinetics on phagosomes in N2 andslc-36.1(yq110) embryos. The point when the CED-1::GFP ring was first detected on the cell corpse was set as 0 min. Bars, 2 µm. (D) Images of cell corpse labeling by CED-1::GFP in N2 and slc-36.1(yq110) embryos. Arrows and arrowheads indicate button-like cell corpses and vacuoles, respectively. Boxed regions are magnified (2×) in insets. Bars, 2 µm.
